  1. Julien bought a pair of MS2i for a little transplant project he had going. Even though cross border postal delivery can sometimes take an inordinate amount of time (In this case 8 days by International "Priority") Julien was patient and never complained. Overall, the transaction was extremely easy and I would not hesitate to deal with Julien again.

  2. I guess I understand not releasing a 64Gb touch. They probably felt they could not do it at the price-point they wanted.

    I do not understand reducing the classic line to only 120GB. I would have assumed they would have gone 120/250 from the previous 80/160. Oh well, I am no longer tempted to buy a classic.

  3. This is only the most recent of numerous transactions with Earl, both as a buyer and seller. I have never had a negative experience dealing with Earl, and this latest transaction was no exception. Thanks yet again, Earl.

  4. Regardless of where you get them from, make sure you can audition them in your room with your equipment. It varies from speaker to speaker but room interactions can drastically change the "sound" on most speakers. Internet dealers generally give you 30 days so plan accordingly. Most respectable brick-and-mortars will also give you a return period but you generally have to pay-up-front unless you have a well-established relationship with the dealer.

    Oh and another vote for the Paradigms. Now that our family room is done, (The carpet is going in as I type this) I will be buying the Studio Ref 100's, Studio Ref 20's and the CC-690 Center.

  5. I heard it sucks ... at least that's what I keep telling myself

    Nope. The output on the zapfilter is pretty hot though and tends to make people either love it or hate it. Still, with good volume matching, a zapfilter modded E5 can certainly play with the big boys. I prefer my new CD player, but it is really a matter of preference/sound signature.

    I think Earl has experience with zapfilter modded sources though, so the output level shouldn't be a problem for him. Congrats buddy! :)

    I guess I should have used a smiley and made the small print easier to see. I sold Earl the modded E5 and, although knowing better, listened to it for a while before packing it up for shipment. :( The 840c isn't really better, just different and more flexible with the digital inputs.
